This error indicates that the specified location is not recognized as a loading point, which is necessary for certain transportation processes.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Location Configuration:

  You can check this in the EWM customizing under Logistics Execution -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Define Storage Locations.

  Review Integration Settings:
  
  Check the integration settings between EWM and TM to ensure that they are correctly configured. This includes verifying that the relevant settings for loading points are properly maintained.
